On a Lemmy I'm always the person who thinks people are overreacting or exaggerating. But this really does seem like the end of firefox as a privacy champion (which, apart from being nonprofit, was my only real reason for using it). I think I will make a donation to ladybird.
Another thing: their acceptable use policy straight up forbids viewing pornography or graphic violence. No nuance or exceptions.
I might have violated that, but then again I didn't read the TOS.
Your TOS can't stop me, I can't read!
Where can I find this acceptable use policy?
Edit: found it but it was not mentioned in the new TOS. Does this only apply to Mozillas other services like sync and stuff?
That's one thing I'm unsure about, because at the very top of the acceptable use policy it says that those points apply to Mozilla services - is Firefox a service, or does it only apply to online services that are built into Firefox?
I still don't like it if it's overreaching, but I could understand if they don't want, say, porn on some sharing features where they might be hosting something.
